A comparative study between solid, porous, and equivalent homogenous truss structures with embedded metamaterials
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)Metamaterials are a class of engineered materials with various microstructures that can achieve properties unattainable with conventional materials. For instance, inspired by natural materials such as bees' honeycombs and ... -
Experimental and analytical investigation of localization and post-peak behavior of steel members in tension
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)Accurate simulation of extreme limit states in structures subjected to abnormal loads, earthquake, or blast requires detailed understanding of their post-peak behavior. In steel structures, these extreme-limit states are ...
